Inserting/changing data to multiple .dwg files

[sogmalco]

I have a large set of drawings, and I need to change some data in each drawing, such as "project data", "drawing scale", "revision", ... etc.

Some of these data are in a block attribute and some are in the DWG properties.

Is there any way I can edit these data using an Excel sheet, for instance, or any other way!!!

@sogmalco,

Is the "project data", "drawing scale", etc. the same text in each drawing?

If yes, you could try this:

1. Create a new drawing
2. Start the XREF command and then Attach all the drawings that need editing.
3. You could attach all at 0,0 and scale = 1.
4. Now use the FIND command to find and replace the text. Be sure to enable the option to search xrefs
   
5. Save the xrefs

Otherwise, you would need to use a script (.SCR) to open, edit, save, close each drawing.

I would welcome feedback from the community regarding how to change the data in the Dwg Properties for a set of drawings.

Regards,

Jerry

The data I need to change is the same through all the files, but it is at the layout not the model space!

what should I do!
